Wonderful!
Christina_M, Apr 2024
We were late in arriving...but Anne, gave us a wonderful tour, even going past the time assigned. We were blessed her schedule wasn't back to back and we appreciated her adjustment. The Hollywood gardens are simply beautiful and a wonderful tribute to those who passed. Truly enjoyed my time and Anne is very knowledgeable about Richmond and her personal ties adds the finishing touch.

Thanks!
we very much enjoyed out...
Bonny_M, Apr 2024
we very much enjoyed out tour and guide. only complaint might be the comfort of the tuk tuk and 1/2 of your group has to sit backwards which does provide some neat views. I imagine it would be much more comfortable as a group of 4 than 6.

Awesome Tour with Lee
Kay_P, Apr 2024
Lee was so knowledgeable and shared tons of information about Richmond. We even stopped to enjoy the eclipse which occurred during our tour!

Thanks!
Would do it again!
CAROL_V, Apr 2024
Great way to give visitors an overview of the city( I brought my out-of-town guests from Michigan and Tennessee) 1.5 hours packed with sights and information. Guide was well informed- great personality. Very enjoyable- I would do it again! .

Fun ride around Richmond.
Richard_G, Mar 2024

Disappointed!
Johanna_E, Nov 2023
It was only memorable because it was quite cold! The fan area is lovely! Hayden, the guide has little knowledge of Richmond history, virtually no comments or facts to share. No history on the fan district, Shockoe Bottom, slave trade, civil war or Poe. Thank goodness I did some internet research on Richmond history prior to the tuk tuk tour. My group of 3 was really disappointed in the Richmond tour.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
You too the Richmond City tour - that provides highlights of the city. Sounds like you may have been more interested in one of the more historic tours. We also do a Civil War, Slavery, and Emancipation tour, and an Edgar Allan Poe tour.
Fun, fun tour!
Danielle_W, Nov 2023
We loved our tour and would highly recommend it! Chris, our tour guide was awesome! I would recommend that they would provide us with a simple map of where the attractions were in the city. I will do it again when I have out of town guests!

Whitney_F, Nov 2023
Our guide was great. This was such an excellent way to explore the city of Richmond. We learned a lot about the history of the city and the culture of its current residents.

Great Overview of Richmond & Great Tour Guide
Karen_S, Oct 2023
I took the TukTuk tour alone while on my first trip to Richmond. My tour guide was originally from NYC, but had lived in Richmond for around 7+ years. His perspective as a person moving here was refreshing. He was very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods, the history, and the current state of things. Very well done. My tour started out on a sunny day, and ended up in a big downpour of rain, but the TukTuk kept us dry and the tour was just as nice.

Thanks!
We Wanted to Love TukTuk, But Didn't
Joan_S, Oct 2023
Disappointed in our tour. We had high hopes of showing first time visitors our city and let them hear stories and facts about Richmond. That didn't happen. Our guide was nice and friendly, but had little knowledge of the city and its history. He gave vague answers to our questions or didn't know the answer. It would have been so much more interesting if he would have given us stories/facts about various places we passed on our way to the historic sights. We could have driven our guests in our car and pointed out the various sights ourselves.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Sorry this tour didn’t meet your expectations.
great way to see Richmond
Arnold_B, Oct 2023
Our guide, Caitlin, was wonderful. Friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. Great tour. The Hollywood cemetery was a definite show-stopper.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thanks!
Great time had by all!
tina_s, Sep 2023
We had a wonderful time showing family around Richmond. Great driver that was highly knowledgeable about Richmond.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thanks!
Would be worth doing cemetery tour separately
Jeanne_R, Sep 2023
I wish we had more time to do the cemetery tour separately. What a fascinating place! The Richmond tour was a very good overview of the city and we recommend it.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thanks!
Richmond: a beautiful city with a rich history.
Christopher_I, Sep 2023
Will was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He new places that would interest us and took us round, explaining their relevance or historical significance.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thanks!
The TukTuk was a blast!
Trish_S, Sep 2023
The TukTuk was a fun and easy way to see the highlights of Richmond. We went on a Sunday morning and traffic was light so it was the ideal time. Our driver accommodated our requests (incl. a bathroom stop at the Hollywood Cemetery and a stop at the VMFA sculpture garden) and shared some interesting information about the city. It's advertised as accommodating up to 6 guests, but I wouldn't recommend more than 4 for everyone's comfort. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thanks!
Amazing Trip
Alexus_T, Aug 2023
It was such a great experience. I decided to take a solo trip to Richmond and so glad I did. The tuktuk tour was wonderful, my guide was so nice and knowledgeable, and I got to see so much. There's so much history packed into this hour and a half tour. The ride is kind of bumpy in certain places but it was just all part of the experience. I loved it.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thanks! Yes -Richmond definitely has a few cobblestone streets.
Perfect Sunday morning
Karen_C, Jul 2023
Our guide was excellent, knowledgeable, brought the old and new Richmond to life. Can’t wait for a return visit so we can go back and do more

RVA tour
Debi_M, Jul 2023
I enjoyed not driving! We had teenagers with us from Hawaii and wanted them to get a little flavor of our city. It was somewhat difficult to hear our driver. However, she was knowledgeable

Thanks!
Five 5 Star Experience
Daniel_S, Jun 2023
Great tour! Everyone (ages 15-55) enjoyed our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He even turned around if we saw something of interest to us. We are so glad we did this tour and will do another one with this group when we return to Richmond! A 5 star experience!
